The Phoenix Suns had players out seemingly all year, creating weird opportunities for value, but also the entire team never quite hit their offensive stride. Meanwhile, the Blazers had, perhaps, TOO many players, and not enough of them hitting shots. But lucky for us, our main target in this mix, Donovan Clingan, was great all year.
